Fit Womens Weekly Podcast

This is a great episode with Christine from www.LoveLifeSurf.com. She really helps you look at your life through a different lens. You'll learn how to find the passion in your daily life.  Believe it or not, there is some passion there. You just need to find it. And when you do, you can actually turn it into something you can make a living at, impact more people with, and just use it to increase your happiness.  Afterall, when you're happy, you spread that happiness to others.  We also talk about how Christine got into yoga, here passion. She's not a yoga certfied instructor and teaching classes. I think you're going to love this episode and learn a lot from it.

Today's podcast is another "book" review/rant about facing your fears.  It was actually a tough podcast because Dan and I got into big ideas and we actually struggled to get them into action steps you can use.  I think the reason is we fail constantly at this even though we seem to try in sperts to improve.  Facing fears and moving forward.  It's a skill you will always need in life, in health, family, business, you name it.  I hope you get some little piece of gold out of this that can help you. 

In this episode of What The Fitness, Dan and I talk about a book Dan recently read called The Motivation Hacker.  It's all about success and keeping yourself up so you can hit your goals and do so as quickly as you can. This is not your typical goal talk... these are new fresh ideas like: The Motivation Equation. It's an equation that can help you evaluate anything you're doing in life and figure out how to approach it with more motivation. How you can use success spirals to create small goals that not only help you hit succeed faster, but help you practically eliminate failure. How you can tackle big goals like weight loss from a direction that gets you so pumped up you'll be 100x more likely to succeed. Plus a lot more.  This was a great book. It was a fast read and the ideas are really helpful for more than just fitness and nutrition.

I am so excited to bring a great conversation with Dilia Suriel the author of The Thin Woman's Brain: Re-Writing the Brain for Permanent Weight Loss. Last week we talked about this book quite a bit. However, this week we have the actual author on to talk about emotional eating... food addiction... and how to actually recognize your hunger. This is a great conversation. I hope you really enjoy it... I think if you can apply the ideas with a sound fitness plan, you will have complet control over you life. 

This episode might make you a little on edge. After all, Dan and I talk about emotional eating. Having a guy talk about it can be tough to hear, but he does bring up some really good points to think about. You'll learn about a book we've read called The Thin Woman's Brain. It's main about emtoinal eating and you'll learn: The number one thought that can save you from eating like crazy when you don't want to. The nine traits that naturally skinny women have when it comes to food. How eating more can actually be less. Why cavemen probably didn't famine like so many people want to say they did. Plus so much more that should get you talking and give you a lot to think about.

Today's episode is a really fun one. We talk about some very interesting studies that have been recently published.  You'll learn why your BMI may not be the best measure of health and even downright deceiving. A great study that looked at whether you should do cardio training before strength training or visa versa. This is a big debt among trainers and now you'll get the truth. We'll dubunk some water myths and recap water truths that can really help you lose weight. Plus a possible new sugar substitute has been found and it not only controls your blood sugar levels, it can help supress your appetite. Then we'll talk about some fitness training ideas that can help you get better results from your workouts.  For example, you'll learn why you need to really focus on strength training and how it can help you not only lose weight, but help you enjoy your favorite foods without knocking you off your goal path.    

In this episode of What The Fitness, it's another "In The News". There are a lot of really cool studioes and stories that have been released lately that we thought deserved an episode. You're going to learn about: The new nutrition labels and what could make them a million times more helpful. Why too much protein gives you cancer, but then again... does it really? How much attitude affects pretty much everything you do, everyday of your life. The rise of the fitness robot and why the president might know your heart rate. Plus so much more fun topics.  We get a little fired up in this episode and I hope it gives you some good food for thought so you can make better decisions that help you be healthier and stronger!

Which kettlebell brands we like and which will save you money so you can get started on your own today.

First off, sorry about the volume. We had to record in a huge room which is why the volume is really tough to hear.  However I really wanted you to hear this episode because there is so much great information to help you. Things like... Is yoga a workout? Can you get stronger while working on flexibility? What workouts and exercises can help you prepare for yoga? How does yoga influence life outside of your physical practice of yoga?   The negatives of teaching yoga... you know those embarrassing things that happen to everybody. Plus so much more!

This was a fun episode to do. I hope it doesn't come off as self rightous, but I'm always asked about things I eat... workout with... use... etc... So this episode is all about Dan and I's favorite things when it comes to nutrition and fitness.  I hope you learn about different types of workouts... options... and products that can help you lose weight or get more fit. Let me know if you have any questions.

This episode, Dan is back with me and we are relaxing and talking about some of the stories that have been hitting the media lately.  The New Year is always really crazy with stories about weight loss, fitness, workouts, nutrition, food, and so much more. So we thought we'd talk about it, share some insights, hopefully get your insights, and see what we can learn. You'll learn why obesity seems to be growing faster and faster and what can we possibly do to help slow it down. Why Instagram is dishing out insanely fit and big booty women and whether that's something that's motivating or not. How dieting is not so popular anymore. Plus some of the biggest fitness trends for 2014. These are all predictive of course, but it does seem like a lot is going to be changing in the new year.

This episode of What The Fitness is all about the New Year. However, Dan and I thought about new ways to think about getting in shape. We came up with ten good ideas that are different slants on how to approaching being healthy... about how to get in the best shape possible... and so much more.  You'll learn... Why you should stop thinking about losing weight altogether. Why calories have nothing to do with the health of food. Why how intense your workout is means nothing when it comes the effectiveness of your workout. Why the key to success in 2014 should be to scare yourself silly. Plus so much more. I really hope you enjoy this episode.

Why you should forget about dieting and even forget about food and focus on this first. Why we crave sugar and how you can turn the tables and fight back to regain control. I hope you really enjoy this episode and please leave your comments.

So you may or may not have heard the news about how much more it costs to eat healthy. It's been all over the main news channels, so I'm sure you heard. In light of this big dollar amount, we thought is appropriate to give you some great ways you can add more healthy food into your diet for much much less than the so called "experts" say. You'll learn the "P" word that holds all the power... it's completely revolutionized out weekly food budget. In fact when we don't follow it... everything falls apart.

These are the five damaging admissions you need to know about going into the Holiday and New Year seasons.

You'll learn things like: What trainers and nutrition experts use to prove their point even though nothing is actually ever proven. What the real best type of training actually is and how you can start doing it very inexpensively. The best nutrition advice you can possibly get.

I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us a 5 star review and some comments to let us know how to get even better.

Mike Boyle... no relation to Dan or I... is an amazing trainer and he's been a mentor for so long. Incredibly honest... talented... and with more experience than most trainers combined.  I think you'll really enjoy todays's podcast because it's a break from the "run your body into the ground" style of training and more about what type of training actually works. And when I say works I mean works to make you healthier, stronger, fitter, and live longer with no injuries. In this interview you're going to learn... Why the best exercises are the oldest and most basic. Plus what those exercises are. Why women tend to lack upper body strength and one way you can go about helping that. I love this becuase it differs from my opinion a little. The most important thing is this. If you don't have it... if you don't do it... you need to start immediately. Why training proportionatly is a waste of time. Just think about what your day typically looks like.  Get going and listen to this interview. I hope it helps you to tak

This weeks episode can come off as promotional, but it's not intended to be at all. It's a great interview with Chris "The Kiwi"... the creator of Athletic Greens.  This is a greens supplement that I have used a lot myself. I really love the product and I think greens supplements and supplementation as a whole is something that will become more and more popular.  Considering the fact that our food supply is clearly tampered with, supplements might play a bigger role in our lives. Anyway, in this podcast you are going to learn: Why even if you're healthy, you could have your body turn agaisnt you.  Why multi-vitamins are mostly a waste of money. Why you should consider greens supplements. What makes Athletic Greens different and the story behind it. Plus a lot more! I hope you lean a lot in this episode. Consider trying Athletic Greens of any greens supplement to see how you react and feel. It might be something you love. Only you can make that call.
